OAK RIDGE NORTH - Oak Ridge North police responded to an incident of a man reportedly yelling and wielding a machete on the roof of a house Tuesday morning.

The man, identified by Oak Ridge North police as Brett Crawford, allegedly had gotten into an argument with a woman earlier in the day and allegedly cut her before traveling to his parents’ house in ORN.

“A young man was having a mental episode,” ORN Police Chief Andrew Walters said. “He came to his parents’ house here in Oak Ridge, apparently got into an argument with his father, got up on the roof and was ranting and raving and slamming the machete around.”

Crawford was arrested and is being charged with aggravated assault, according to Walters.
